I.

CONSISTENCY OF THE BUSINESS PLAN WITH THE REGIONAL STRATEGY

1.

T

1

is guided by

ADB’s Strategy 2020

2

and the Pacific region’s own Pacific Plan.

3

The Pacific Approach has as

its goal “sustained and resilient, improved standards of living,” and the operating priorities set

out in this regional operations business plan (ROBP) support the achievement of that goal. An

updated regional business results framework is in Appendix 1.

2.

Regionalism in the Pacific has a different face than regionalism in the rest of Asia. While

there has been long-standing

cooperation within the region, with key regional organizations

functioning for more than 40 years, the degree of regional integration is still low. The Pacific

Approach therefore presented an agenda aimed at fostering connectivity, consensus, and a

greater sense of Pacific community through (i) inclusive and environmentally sustainable

growth, (ii) good governance, and (iii) regional cooperation and integration.

4

3.

Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) are providing the Pacific

with never-before-encountered opportunities to overcome the constraints of isolation. ADB is at

the forefront of this sea change. Indeed, ICT also underpins the potential for strengthened

regional integration as a facilitator of inclusive growth. In contrast to the resource-rich Pacific

developing member countries (DMC), where recent annual growth rates have been as high as

10%, the resource- and capacity-poor atoll countries struggle to keep their economies growing

faster than their populations. This mixed economic performance gives urgency to regional

integration. The pilot testing of regional service provision will build support for integration.

4.

Most of ADB’s Pacific DMCs are fragile and conflict affected. ADB will strive harder to

engage with the fragile situations, beyond the momentum gained thus far. ADB’s field presence

in the Pacific will be strengthened through cooperation and resource sharing with major

development partners, complementing the development efforts of civil society and the private

sector.

5.

The development priorities defined in the ROBP build on existing engagement with the

region and reinforce assistance provided to the individual countries. Close coordination with

other development partners assisting the region promotes both efficiency and effectiveness.

The current annual seven-party development partner meetings

5

will continue and will be fortified

by more frequent technical contact, close engagement with key regional development agencies,

and efforts to form new development partnerships.

II.

INDICATIVE RESOURCE PARAMETERS

6.

Lending from ADB resources for regional projects is expected to average $9.5 million

annually over 2013–2015 but this may substantially increase if the project concepts of some of

the potential projects are developed and consensus among stakeholders are obtained. Use of

regional set aside Asian Development Fund resources will be explored where possible and

The Pacific Approach has as its operational priorities transport, information and communication technology (ICT), energy, urban development, water and sanitation, and education. Six drivers of change are identified: improved private sector environment, public sector management, capacity development, climate change adaptation and mitigation, development partnerships, and gender mainstreaming.

5

The participants at the annual “Heptagon” meeting are ADB, the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), the European Investment Bank and the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the New Zealand Aid Programme, and the World Bank Group (including the International Finance Corporation).

cofinancing will be sought to augment resources for priority projects. Technical assistance (TA)

is the predominant form of ADB support for the region. Regional TA is anticipated to average

$18.0 million annually, over half of this from cofinancing.

III.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN LENDING AND NONLENDING PROGRAMS

7.

This ROBP updates the lending and nonlending programs contained in the ROBP 2010–

2013.

6

The assistance pipeline for 2013–2015 is in Appendix 3 and the pipeline for 2012 is in

Appendix 4.

8.

Lending program.

Better regional connectivity will be supported throughout the ROBP

period. Developments in ICT will give the geographically dispersed Pacific countries

opportunities to rise above the constraints of isolation. A submarine fiber optic cable project,

contributing to regional interconnectivity, is included.

7

Moreover, because the lack of adequate

human resources is a key development constraint in the Pacific, the 2012 Higher Education in

the Pacific Investment Program with the University of the South Pacific will foster higher

education and training under a multitranche financing facility, with subsequent tranches

programmed for late 2013 and for 2014.

9.

ADB will start implementing its trade finance program (TFP) in the Pacific region in early

2013.

8

TFP fills private sector market gaps for trade finance by providing guarantees and loans

through banks to support trade, so promoting economic growth and job creation.

10.

Nonlending program.

The nonlending program will emphasize the strengthening of

core government functions including policy formulation, financial management, and public sector

management. ADB will maintain its support for regional bodies such as the Pacific Regional

Audit Initiative, and the Pacific Financial Technical Assistance Centre in the area of public

sector management. Regional common services (e.g., statistics) will also be supported where

feasible, to demonstrate improved service delivery while preserving policy sovereignty.

11.

Connectivity will be enhanced and the ICT

investment program will be complemented by

regional TA support for stricter regulation of ICT and the use of ICT in improved social services.

Connectivity will also be strengthened through transport links that facilitate trade and promote

inclusive growth. Regional activities aimed at leveraging greater development benefits from

support extended to the individual countries will also be implemented. For example, regional TA

will uphold national priorities in renewable energy, education, and skills development.

12.

Successful areas of ongoing regional assistance, such as the Private Sector

Development Initiative and the Pacific Economic Management TA, will continue. New inclusions

in the program, addressing the challenge of climate change, comprise Strengthening Climate

Risk and Resilience Capacity in Urban Development in the Pacific, and Strengthening the

Capacity of Pacific DMCs to Respond to Climate Change (Phase 2).

13.

Previously, the implementation of regional nonlending programs was delayed by funding

limitations. In response, increased emphasis is placed on developing partnerships to support

the cofinancing of regional activities and a focused forward pipeline is presented. Partnerships

are leveraged to strengthen knowledge products, with coordinated work progressing under the

“Pacific Futures 2030” umbrella.

7

Two other submarine fiber optic cable projects included in country operations business plans (Samoa and Vanuatu) will also have regional integration benefits. Similarly, as appropriate, regional funding will be sought for national port and airport projects in country operations business plans.

8

TFP has been successfully implemented in 16 DMCs, supporting more than $6 billion in trade and over 1,000 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the past 2 years. See ADB. 2009. Trade Finance Facilitation Program. Manila.

UPDATED REGIONAL BUSINESS PLAN RESULTS FRAMEWORK, 2013–2015

(Board endorsement of the Pacific Approach: 2009; ROBP October 2012)

Pacific Plan Development Goals Changes from Last ROBP

In accordance with the leaders’ vision and other decisions relating to its implementation, the Pacific Plan has the goal of enhancing and stimulating economic growth, sustainable development, good governance, and security for the Pacific countries through regionalism. To meet this goal, the strategic objectives of the Pacific Plan are (i) economic growth, (ii) sustainable development, (iii) good governance, and (iv) improved political and social conditions for stability and safety.
